"What the heck is this place?" Nagisa asked.
"Looks like an underground swimming competition...?" Makoto questioned.
"What are we doing here?" Haru asked.
"Yes, I want to know the answer to that as well," Rei added.
"Just...wait, you'll see," Rin finally spoke after all the talking.
Makoto, Nagisa, Rei, and Haru all gasped, some louder than others...
"Is that....?"

Haru jumped into the pool after everyone swam their turn in the medley.
"Come on! Do it, Haru!" Makoto and Nagisa shouted as Rei looked back at Haru swimming.
Haru moved up to third place pretty fast. At this point, I'm only focused on Haru. Background cheerings and screaming, I can no longer hear. I'm so fixed on this race, I'm basically manifesting Haru to move all the way up to first place.
And holy hell, Haru got first place. We made it into regionals. I let out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness," I whispered, my eyes getting a little watery.
I placed my hands over my nose and mouth from how emotional I felt, quite literally almost crying of happiness. I finally got to see Makoto in a relay again. It made me so glad.
I looked down and Rin was looking up at me. What are you thinking, Rin? He quickly turned to look back at the boys hugging, probably reminiscing.
Good.
I hope it stings him at least a little.
Going back to how we all used to be doesn't sound too bad now, huh, Rin?
The sun was finally setting the last day of the race, and I also had another to attend to...mine.
I ran my way to the abandoned underground pool as I did the day before.
Meanwhile with Rin....
"I've got something to show you guys," Rin said, loitering against the building where the competition was held.
"What is it?" Makoto asked.
"It's better if you see it with your own eyes," Rin responded.
"...okay?" Makoto said, weirded out, probably speaking up for all four of them.
They walked into suspicious territory, "You're not going to kill us, are you?" Rei asked.
"I'm a swimmer, not a killer," Rin scoffed at the idiotic question, "I think it's somewhere here, but before we go in...use these," Rin handed over black pull-over hoodies, "Make sure to keep your hoods on at all times."
"What the heck is this place?" Nagisa asked, walking into the building.
"Looks like an underground swimming competition...?" Makoto questioned.
"What are we doing here?" Haru asked.
"Yes, I want to know the answer to that as well," Rei added.
"Just...wait, you'll see," Rin finally spoke after all the talking.
Makoto, Nagisa, Rei, and Haru all gasped, some louder than others...
"Is that....?"
"Yup. It's Y/n," Rin confirmed.
"How did you know about this place?" Makoto asked, in a worried tone.
"Yesterday, after our date... I followed her here. I wanted to make sure she got home safe but she was acting...different."
